When I was younger I saw my daddy cry And cursed at the wind He broke his own heart And I watched As he tried to re-assemble it And my momma swore That she would never let herself forget And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love If it does not exist But darlin', You, are, the only exception But, you, are, the only exception But, you, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception Maybe I know, somewhere Deep in my soul That love never lasts And we've got to find other ways To make it alone Or keep a straight face And I've always lived like this Keeping it comfortable, Distance, and up until now I'd sworn to myself that I'm content With loneliness Because none of it Was ever worth the risk, but... You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception I've got a tight grip on reality But I can't let go of what's in front of me here I know you're leaving in the morning, when you wake up Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream Oh You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception You, are, the only exception And I'm on my way to believing. Oh, And I'm on my way to believing.
